Nearly a year after the end of Syria’s civil war and the fall of the Assad dictatorship, the country has embarked on a long and complex reconstruction process. The destruction is staggering: entire neighborhoods lie in rubble and basic infrastructure (roads, power grids, and water systems) has collapsed, and public institutions are dysfunctional. Millions of Syrians remain displaced inside and outside the country, schools and hospitals are incapacitated, and what remains of the economy is crippled by unemployment, inflation, and the lingering impact of sanctions (even as many have lately been eased). Ongoing sectarian violence and a deepening humanitarian disaster, with more than 14.5 million Syrians facing food insecurity, compound the crisis. As the international community re-engages in Syria, reconstruction will require many hundreds of billions of dollars in aid and investment as well as assistance to restore governance, security, and stability.

Amid escalating tensions and fears of imminent conflict with Israel, Lebanese citizens are urgently stocking up on food, medicine, and fuel, despite assurances from relevant ministries and unions about the availability of these essentials for the coming months.
Former Minister and Chairman of the Lebanese Economic Organizations, Mohamed Choucair, explained that current market supplies are sufficient to last three to six months, noting that there is enough flour to keep bakeries operational for three months, which is the maximum storage period for flour.
"The rush to store food, medicine, and other products creates confusion among the people and reduces the reserve stocks available in warehouses," Choucair toled Asharq Al-Awsat newspaper.
Choucair expressed particular concern over the potential interruption of fuel supplies.
"It is true that gasoline and diesel are available for three months, and fuel tanks cannot contain more than this amount, but any disruption in fuel supply will inevitably halt factory operations and make it difficult for people to travel," he cautioned.
Head of the Food Importers Syndicate in Lebanon, Hani Al-Bohsali, remarked that the rush to stock up is excessive and currently unjustified, given the ample supplies in warehouses.
He added, however, that if war breaks out, blocked roads could hinder the delivery of goods from warehouses to retailers.
